Crazy Blackwater tubing mixed with therapeutic Stand-Up Paddleboarding is one of the best combos on Storms River in Tsitsikamma National Park!
You'll start your trip with a lovely drive from Storms River village to The Old Storms River Pass, the drive lasts about 20 minutes and is very pleasant. Once you arrive you'll be provided with your tube and you can get in the river, first, there's a short upstream paddle to reach a soft beach where you'll get out and walk another 200m to the next pool.
It's now time to switch up, you get to jump on your Stand Up Paddle Board and advance 800m to your new location. Here, there's a cliff jump, it's 8m high so it will get your adrenaline rushing, although for those who like to take it slower we reassure you the jump is optional. The guide will demonstrate how to jump so everything is safe, even for first-timers. If you prefer not to jump, you'll be able to join other activities such as SUP Handstands, Tube balancing and of course a refreshing swim. At this point, a well-deserved chocolate bar is provided to get your energy ready for the paddle back. You join your tubes where you left them on the river's edge, from there you get to go on a sensational downstream route to finally arrive where you started.
